More about the hotel
Good base for exploring Rio!
Located in central area away from the traffic laden Copacabana beach area. Unless you plan to swim at Copacabana beach a lot, this is a good location for the sights and very accessible from the San Dumont airport. Uber/taxi very cheap to sugar loaf and other attractions. Good choice of buffet breakfast with a mix of local and western food. Very helpful front desk, especially Renata. Rooms are basic, but clean.
Could be better
No questions asked about hotel itself, all is great, quality and comfort is fantastic. However i do have concernes about staff. Not helpful, giving more stress than help overall. All my questions were answered: "Go to Airport" As a result i had to look for options myself and found everything i needed much closer, however staff didn't make any effort to accomodate me. Another moment, problems with check in instead allowing group to get into the rooms they held all of us waiting till they manually insert details while presense wasn't required.
Novotel
Novotel SDU stay after my trip to Europe. This is a good stay after a long trip, very convenient close to SDU airport. Only that misses in this hotel is a transfer to the Airport. Is close, but it is close enough to make it difficuklt to find taxi; at the same time it is not close enough to someone who needs to walk to the VERY DANGEROUS center of Rio de Janeiro
Novotel Santos Dumont - Good cost/benefit
I´ve been at this hotel for a while, it´s a very good location, good amenities and accommodation. Walking distance from Santos Dumont airport and close downtown. Room very good, good restaurant, gym and parking.
Stay in Novotel RJ Santos Dumont
Good and clean hotel. However the surrounding area is not a commercial area where you can shop etc. Near to the Local Airport. Suitable for business trip since the location is nearby to the offices and diplomatic building.
